“Sniderman and her talented troupe of singers, character voices and musicians gallantly travel through this ambitious undertaking. Listeners will recognize when some of Sniderman’s characters borrow traits from the greats who have gone before–Yoda, Gollum and Dobby, for example. The Dream Sequence reminded some of the playful and witty dialogue from Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element. We applaud the creative effort and hope that Sniderman will work to further home her structure story and develop her characters to carry on in future fantasy adventures.”
(Parents Choice, Recommended Award Winner-Storytelling)

“If this album were any better it would be on Broadway.. a luscious rainbow of music, story, characters and adventure that will mesmerize children and entertain adults… magical worlds of music, tales, characters, excitement, concern, love and joy. Her albums are ostensibly for children, but really, the music is so sophisticated and the artists she joins with and directs are so talented that adults get lost in them…” (Patrick O’Heffernan, Vents Magazine)

“Delving back into the Wonderhaven fantasy realm, she creates vividly inventive portraits of fairy and goblin characters prompted by a “nyxmare” to which creative children who spend hours in imaginative play will naturally gravitate. For anyone who listens to children’s music… it’s rare to find something that doesn’t get cheesily boring, irritatingly repetitive very quickly, becoming quite torturous… one could easily imagine how this airy and fantasy-filled album would translate into a children’s TV show or a movie… Hints of indie pop’s Feist, Lisa Loeb , Susannah Hoff and Ingrid Michaelson influences weave in and out like Renaissance festival ribbons on several tracks. There’s even a little reggae on “All This Mess”. During Aoede’s excursion to the underworld to prevent the white witch from winning, children will automatically become invested in how this story ends. For parents who enjoyed the Narnia, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fantasy series, this album falls well within this genre. Will Aoede triumph in the end? The album will keep the audience enthralled enough until the end to find out.”(Carlita,Music Emissions)

“Theater for your ears!” (Lisa Smith, Big Blends Radio)

“In ‘What Are Dreams Made Of?,’ singer/songwriter Lisa Sniderman and her collaborators have created something more than just a unique combination of story and song. They’ve fashioned a fully-formed universe whose carefully wrought details rival those in the fantastical novels so popular with teens and tweens nowadays. In the story, Aoede The Muse sets out to understand her recurring bad dream (a ‘Nyxmare’) that overlaps with events in the magical town of Wonderhaven, where children have been going missing. Along the way we meet a cast of memorable characters – Luk, Morpheus, Goblins, The White Witch – some friendly, some not so much. The audio tracks regularly alternate between spoken word and melody, with songs ranging in tone from catchy pop to darker fare. The rich inventiveness of the characters, storyline, and language flesh out a mystical world into which listeners are drawn, the recording acting as a portal to the deepest levels of our imagination.”
(Tillywig Toy Awards (BEST CREATIVE FUN AWARD))

“This new release reaches beyond the audience that she was embracing in her previous work and now she is embracing the older genre, the tweens and teens, as well as young adults… This is a captivating and inviting story shared in word and music. A beautiful piece of art in cd form. The picture she paints through her work is spellbinding and one that you will enjoy again and again. Child and parent alike can enter in to this fairytale world and experience this exciting new realm together.”
(Family Review Center (GOLD AWARD))

“Its like watching a musical with parts of speech to tell the tale and then breaks into music and back to the story. I loved the music and the tale.. I kept on smiling how fun it was, brought memories of a child hood memory of a band I enjoyed which told a story and then begins to sing in each section of the show… When you hear the song and the story that is happening you can close your eyes and imagine this happening. a picture pops in your head of exactly what is going on. I feel as if I can see it happening without it being on TV or on my computer, no image needed. The music and tale gives you everything you need to understand what is going on..”
(Natasha Miller-TestTryResults)

“Gr 3-8–In this mix of story and song, Aoede (pronounced A-E-D), a muse from Olympus, travels to the land of Wonderhaven to look for love… Aoede has a lovely soprano voice… This fun production should find a place in most library music collections for children. Beverly Wrigglesworth, San Antonio Public Library, TX ”
(Beverly Wrigglesworth, San Antonio Public Library, TX, School Library Journal Book Verdict)

“As a music critic, this album isn’t that easy to review. It’s closer to theater or literature than it is to music…. Looking to the production and performance, this is a very professional creation. It’s obviously something with a lot of thought put into it… All I can say is well done.”
(Gary Hill, Music Emissions)

“Taking cue from the magic of imagination and getting lost in a story, Aoede’s ‘Is Love a Fairy Tale’ captures the innocence and dream world so easily forgotten. Aoede’s mesmerizing, almost ethereal vocals transport the listener to a simpler time. While this album, a children’s album, has greater appeal to tweens, the message is still fun and engaging for all ages… This entire album surprised me, and really just put me in a great mood.”
(Melissa Kucirek, Hot Indie News)

“What’s striking is that the narrative is written so cleverly that it leaves one wondering whether the songs came first or were written specifically for the latter album. Kudos must go to the story writing and weaving an appropriate storyline around already existing tracks… It is incredibly clever and seamless… The creativity is vast and makes one wonder if Aoede does in fact have a muse.”
(Christopher West, SKOPE Magazine)

“Congratulations. We have selected your songs” Can’t Stop The Music & Bittersweet” for promotion and airplay on The Airomee Wind Radio Station. “This music needs no one to” compliment it. The music speaks for itself. Aoede’s music is filled with colorful images of life that leave a lasting impression on listeners mind.”
(Airomee Wind, The Airomee Wind Radio Station)

“Through a collage of timeless animation and inspired real-word vignettes, Aoede compels you back to youth and the unshakeable belief in happily ever after… Aoede’s quirky lyrics and fun, catchy hooks laid over well-crafted melodies transport one back to the innocence and magic of childhood. Is Love A Fairy Tale? is a musical journey that, in the end, leaves one tickled and in awe.”
(The Akademia Music Awards)

“I found this collection quite interesting. It was almost like listening to a musical. Each track had some narration and some music but the Is Love A Fairy Tale? CD makes one continuous story. I would say that the story itself is good for pre-teens and would be especially appealing to girls. It talks about a young woman in search of love. She’s not sure what it is or how to find it. She looks lots of places and meets lots of interesting creatures in the mystical land where she lives. In the end we learn that ‘love is whatever you want it to be’ and is ‘the greatest thing of all’.”(Kerrific Online)

“This CD is so catchy and unique… My 5 year old likes it… I think I may share this with my best friend who has 4 girls in her house. The music is very fun and engaging and stays in your head all day. I love all fairy tales, and I love greek mythology even more so this is right up my alley. The narration through out really brings the story in the music together. We, well me and the 5 year old, really enjoy this and I can’t wait to share with my friend and her girls and see what they think too. 5/5? (Jenn’s Review Blog)

“How fun! I really enjoyed this “audio book”. It flows warmly, intertwining music, narration and leading questions, which take you in to the story line with a pre-set stage for what you are about to embark on. Between the sound effects and excellent narration, you can visualize the story well, as you walk along with the characters you will meet on the way. I love to put these on in the car when going for a drive … everyone can relax and enjoy the story together. Then, when we stop for a bite to eat, we have something to talk about – the story! This is a well produced audio CD and I know you will enjoy it. Reading is awesome – I love to read! However, sometimes reading is not practical or inviting, which are the times you want something such as this to kick back and enjoy. Great for children ages 9-14 but I think all ages will enjoy the fun tale.”(Family Review Center (GOLD AWARD))

“Aoede (Lisa Sniderman) has a fizzy, fancy-free persona conveyed with a hint of Brit-ness a la Lilly Allen, but is much less edgy… charming ukulele fueled Love Proof whose quaint simplicity and deft vocal harmonies recall the Ditty Bops. This artist has a unique spirit…”
(Music Connection-New Music Critiques)

“This talented songwriter has a gift for crafting pop melodies and lyrics so catchy you’ll find yourself humming and singing along from the very first listen. Her voice has the unique ability to be simultaneously upbeat and plaintive, a quality that keeps the listener actively engaged. The arrangements are awash in warm harmonies and delightfully quirky, well-suited instrumental choices. The standouts include ‘Make It Up As You Go,’ a buoyant, catchy whistle tune that shows us that anything we can imagine, we can create. ‘Little Things,’ a delightful song about the pleasures to be had from life’s simpler offerings, makes us wonder why the ukulele isn’t used far more often in pop music. And the joyful ‘Reason To Smile’ uses trombone and tuba to great effect in ways that brings the Beatles to mind.”(Tillywig Toy Awards-STERLING FUN)

“Aoede’s refreshing vocals that float effortlessly over her uplifting productions bring a smile to every face and even when her tracks focus on the more negative aspects of life there is still an underlying optimism that gives the listener an overwhelming sense that everything WILL be ok.”
(The BizzNiz)

“Supported by a wonderfully appropriate video, ‘Fairy Tale Love’ is a wonderful celebration of childhood innocence; both the song and video incorporate fairy tale imagery to great effect, “what if the prince never kissed Beauty’s lips, she might still be sleeping alone.”
(Don Strachan-Life After BHS)

“For AOEDE, you cannot tag her as a single genre artist, in fact, it is much harder to pin her down in one category, because her music is outside any realm of typical categories. Instead, put her in your “Popular” playlist and hit repeat often, because if you enjoy music by Regina Spektor, and Feist, Ingrid Michaelson then you will definitely enjoy AOEDE.”
(Mikey Jay, The Great Unknowns Presents)

“Poppy, upbeat, heartfelt, passion-filled, talented – those are just some words one might use to describe Aoede. Lisa Sniderman has a brilliantly vibrant voice that matches her positive personality. Her music isn’t necessarily confined to any set parameters, that is to say, if you compared her song I Lost, You Win to Love Proof, you might think it was two different artists. Aoede has a distinct Pop sound to it, but not the kind of mainstream Pop sound. When the ukulele is added into the mix, it gives off a happy, positive feeling much the way Molly Lewis‘ music does (minus the comedy)… If I were to compare Aoede to someone it would be The Oh Wells. Like The Oh Wells, Aoede creates songs with lyrics that are deep, sensitive, and contemplative…” (MarsBands Review)

“Affair With The Muse’s best moments are when Aoede completely lets her guard down… Full of fun, poppy hooks and gorgeous underscored production that only aids in making these engaging lovelorn themes all the more enticing; Aoede’s easy-to-love pop will forever find a home on your headphones.”
(Jason Gladu, Stage Door Music Reviews)

“Affair With the Muse’s lyrics are dominated by reactions, observations & questions pertaining to the matters of the heart… This album is like a cool breeze on a warm summer day. You’ll find yourself reflecting upon your own experiences. You’ll find yourself deep in empathy, as if her words were meant for your ears alone.”
(Fred, Sqwerm Music Review)

“Aoede’s quirky folk/pop sensibilities mix with both light and dark on her latest album, sometimes throwing up glorious sparks of song, while at others simply documenting the passage of time and the survival of creation; of life itself. “Fairy Tale Love” explores wanting that perfect love story… Aoede’s sweetly anachronistic voice dances with the melody line to create a sweet opening moment.”
(Wildysworld)

“Hey! This is Christopher Ewing, Host of “The Radio Cafe ReverbNation Indie Music Countdown”. I’m writing you to say “Congratulations”! Your music has been chosen for consideration for airplay on “The Radio Cafe ReverbNation Indie Music Countdown”! I receive thousands and thousands of submissions for airplay from all over the world, and you were chosen from all of those submissions because I feel that you are one of the BEST independent artists out there right now. Way to go! ”
(Christopher Ewing, The Radio Cafe ReverbNation Indie Music Countdown)

“Once every blue moon, the universe is blessed with the laughter of an angel. There may be a blue moon for awhile because the musical vibe of Aoede encompasses that angelic sound. Beyond the voice, there is inspirational songwriting and a metaphysical presence within every note… Her story is as compelling as her willingness to share it with the world.”
(Ced 1, Independent Music and Media)

“One of the fun things about diving into a sea of mostly DIY music is “discovering” an unsigned artist who could be the next big thing. At a very least, it’s easy to find more than a few folks who are going to have exciting careers which I will enjoy following. One is San Francisco area singer/songwriter Aoede (Lisa Sniderman, who also has a bitchin’ blog). With a vocal style similar to Feist or Fiona Apple, her songs are more lush and ornate than either. She also writes some seriously catchy hooks. “I Lost You Win” builds from a simple melodic piano riff into into an almost Bell & Sebastion like baroque pop arrangement with a chorus that is just stuck in my head. In “Fairy Tale Romance” and “Crave Me” Aoede shows a playful side that is warmer and more intimate than B&S as well. It kills me that I’ll be in San Fransisco the next two days and she has no live dates. Maybe next time.”
(Walking on a Wire-Artist of the Week)

“…..as I find myself being whisked away by the sounds of Aoede I need a copy of Push and Pull in the house, in the vehicle, in the studio and in my head all the time. I’ve added this gem to my own personal favorite collection, but then you will too once you’ve treated your ears to this masterpiece! Just remember….A-E-D!”
(Kit McGuire KRIM Radio)

“Bringing pop worthy hooks together with alt rock instrumentation and smoky production, Push and Pull, Aoede’s new release (May 2008), stays with you long after the first listen…demanding more spins and closer attention…an unforgettable emotional listening experience…”
(Massive Music)

“…multi-faceted and intensely engaging from the first song… Sniderman’s vocal is electrifying! Aoede are worthy of investigating.”
(Anna Maria Stjarnell, Luna Kafe ezine record review)

“Aoede is a band with talented musicians in David Sands and John Walden, but it is really a vehicle for vocalist/songwriter Lisa Sniderman. Part Amie Mann and part Kate Bush, Sniderman exudes a painfully wrought honesty on Push And Pull. This is true singer-songwriter confessional material, without pretense or machination.”
Rating: 4 Stars (Out of 5)
(Review of Push and Pull-Wildysworld) “AOEDE/Push and Pull: This crew probably came to Leonard Cohen by way of “I’m Your Fan”, but the contemporary influences like Nick Cave and PJ Harvey certainly ring authentic and organic. Not exactly a set that will make you want to gargle with razor blades, this trio certainly know their way around college music for the moody. Well conceived genre set that you can just imagine leaking out of Ipods
as the fall term kicks in.” (Aoede Muse)
(Midwest Record Recap)

“The music conjures up all of the fantasy and inspiration of a beautiful, tragic myth. It is a story-telling, magic-making kind of music… her vocals add a lightness, a radiance that dances on the edges of the music itself. It’s like the halo on an angel, the shimmering light on a firefly’s back.”
(San Fran Voice)

“Rose Colored Glasses” is a perfect beginning to this record and reminds me of the Indigo Girls with rich overlapping vocal harmonies sung by Lisa and a beat that kept my toes tapping. This is a song about getting honest and real with oneself and others, a story we can all relate to. “Leap Of Faith” is an insightful song of encouragement. With the third song, “Flickering”, the expression “word-smith” came to mind. Lisa writes metaphors that would make Bob Dylan proud! The last song “So It Goes” is thick with emotion and the instrumentation is excellent and perfectly conveys the moodiness and desperation of the piece. Lisa’s phrasing is so unique and sends home her point! I can’t wait to hear the whole album due out in the Summer of 2007.
(Goddess Queen Magazine-Review-Ear Candy)

“Offering acoustic-rooted singer-songwriter stylings, Aoede conjures a sound all its own yet referential of similar artists such as Aimee Mann. Emotive and emotionally intelligent, “Ear Candy” is tasty for both your aural sensors as well as your soul.”
(Corazine-Review of Ear Candy)

“Ear Candy”, is an interesting collection of 4-tunes that pushes an organic folk rock message with a dash of alternative and avant-garde. The first track, “Rose Colored Glasses”, showcases Sniderman’s vocals, and we were immediately reminded of Lena Lovitch and Chrissy Hynde. The songwriting here has a touch punk as lyrics describe the shiny happy contacts that inspired it, ‘when your life is a bed of roses, you’re tasting milk and honey and skies are always blue, can’t let those thorns hurt you”. Sniderman’s delivery is original. She provides her own harmonies and the arrangement of those vocals is compelling – such as in track 2’s, “Leap of Faith”. The chorus is endearing. There are only 4 tracks on the album, and the third combines an atmospheric dreamy verse vibe with metallic acoustic guitar support as Sniderman describes life as ‘flickerin, just when we want it to be still it keeps on flickerin’. The final track, “So it Goes”, is an anthem emotional piece and our favorite on the CD. We look forward to more.
(Ear Buzz-Ear Candy Review)

“…a refreshing collection of self written songs that draws the listener in. The catchy lyrics coupled with strong vocals keep you coming back for more.”
(GoGirls-Georgia Moncrief-Ear Candy-Review)

“When Hobbyhorse first heard Aoede, we were immediately struck by Lisa’s unique voice, their songs, which are both intimate and catchy, and the personal and musical chemistry between Lisa and David. Aoede’s music has really grown on us. The more we listen to and get to know Aoede, the more we like them.”
(Hobbyhorse)

“Singer/songwriter with a modern pop feel, sophisticated sound, and thoughtful songs!”
(Indie-Music.com Presents the Best in Independent Music)

WHAT THE FANS (AOEDE’S ANGELS) SAY ABOUT AOEDE!

“I so adore Aoede’s album ‘Push and Pull’ not just because it contains outstanding songs, but also because the production is beautiful. Turn it up and listen to Lisa Sniderman’s wonderful voice on ‘I Lost You Win’ – fantastic, She has a beautiful voice, and her songs mostly cross the line between Pop and rock, which is a bonus as far as I’m concerned. In fact, I Love this album from start to finish an absolute brilliant work from all members of this great band ..Rock on Aoede!” (Carl Warren-Fan-Reverbnation) “Amazing painting of sound colors and beautiful passion in your voice!!!

“Regarding your “Fairy Tale Love” video: The thing that really got to me was your annunciation, your expressions, and your movements that matched the song perfectly, like a Broadway musical.
